Digital Fabrication in K-12

Session 4

Jaymes Dec, Karen Blumberg, Don Buckley — Marymount School of New York

Digital fabrication labs, maker spaces and other innovative classrooms are popping up in K-12 schools all over the world!

Let's start a conversation so we can share our best practices, tips, tricks, challenges of managing and running such labs.

Topics of conversation will include:

Favorite student projects Recommended hardware/software Costs Applications to design thinking Staffing and training Professional development opportunities Lab model vs 1:1 And more!

Conversational Practice

As educators who have been using digital fabrication and the design process in their classroom for years, we will share some of my favorite (and least favorite) projects. We will use these examples to prompt a conversation about what works, and what doesn't in a digital fabrication classroom.
